NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

To Be Held at ____________ Mountain Time on ____________, 2023

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF WORLDWIDE WEBB ACQUISITION CORP.:

You are cordially invited to attend the extraordinary general meeting (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”) of Worldwide Webb Acquisition Corp. (“we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”) to be held at      on      , 2023 at the offices of Kirkland & Ellis LLP, located at 95 South State Street, Salt Lake City, UT 84111, or at such other time, on such other date and at such other place to which the meeting may be postponed or adjourned, or to attend virtually via the Internet.

While shareholders are encouraged to attend the meeting virtually, you will be permitted to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting in person at the offices of Kirkland & Ellis LLP. You will be able to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting online, vote and submit your questions during the Extraordinary General Meeting by visiting https://www.cstproxy.com/     , or by phone by dialing       (toll-free) within the U.S. and Canada or       (standard rates apply) outside of the U.S. and Canada. The accompanying proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) is dated      , 2023, and is first being mailed to shareholders of the Company on or about      , 2023. The sole purpose of the Extraordinary General Meeting is to consider and vote upon the following proposals:

Each of the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal is more fully described in the accompanying Proxy Statement.

The sole purpose of each of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal is to provide the Company with sufficient time to consummate its pending, previously announced business combination with Aark Singapore Pte. Ltd. (“AARK”), pursuant to that certain Merger Agreement, dated March 11, 2023, among the Company, WWAC Amalgamation Sub Pte. Ltd. and AARK (the “Merger Agreement”). Our board of directors (the “Board”) believes that there will not be sufficient time before the current deadline in the Company’s charter to complete the initial business combination. Accordingly, our Board believes that the Extension is necessary in order to be able to consummate the business combination. Therefore, our Board has determined that it is in the best interests of our shareholders to extend the date by which the Company must consummate the business combination to the Extended Date in order to provide our shareholders with the opportunity to participate in the prospective investment.

In connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal, shareholders may elect to redeem their Class A ordinary shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable) earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, if any, divided by the number of then outstanding Class A ordinary shares, and which election we refer to as the “Election.” An Election can be made regardless of whether such Class A ordinary shareholders vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal and an Election can also be made by holders of Class A ordinary shares (the “Class A ordinary shareholders”) who do not vote, or do not instruct their broker or bank how to vote, at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Class A ordinary shareholders may make an Election regardless of whether such Class A ordinary shareholders were holders as of the record date. Class A ordinary shareholders who do not make the Election would be entitled to have their shares redeemed for cash if we have not completed our initial business combination by the Extended Date. In addition, regardless of whether Class A ordinary shareholders vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal, or do not vote, or do not instruct their broker or bank how to vote, at the Extraordinary General Meeting, if the Extension is implemented and a public shareholder does not make an Election, they will retain the right to vote on any proposed initial business combination in the future and the right to redeem their Class A ordinary shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of such initial business combination, including interest earned on the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, divided by the number of then issued Class A ordinary shares, in the event a proposed business combination is completed. We are not asking you to vote on any proposed business combination at this time. In due course, we intend to file a separate definitive proxy statement/prospectus pursuant to which we will seek approval of the business combination, among other things, at a separate extraordinary general meeting. If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are not approved, we may not be able to consummate a business combination. We urge you to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting regarding the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment Proposal.

Based upon the amount in the Trust Account as of      , 2023, which was approximately $     , we anticipate that the per-share price at which Class A ordinary shares will be redeemed from cash held in the Trust Account will be approximately $      at the time of the Extraordinary General Meeting. The closing price of the Class A ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC on      , 2023, the most recent practicable closing price prior to the mailing of this Proxy Statement, was $     . We cannot assure shareholders that they will be able to sell their shares in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in our securities when such shareholders wish to sell their shares.

TO DEMAND REDEMPTION, PRIOR TO 5:00 P.M. EASTERN TIME ON      , 2023 (TWO BUSINESS DAYS BEFORE THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING), YOU SHOULD ELECT EITHER TO PHYSICALLY TENDER YOUR SHARES (AND/OR DELIVER YOUR SHARE CERTIFICATE(S) (IF ANY) AND OTHER REDEMPTION FORMS) TO CONTINENTAL STOCK

TRANSFER & TRUST COMPANY OR TO TENDER YOUR SHARES (AND/OR DELIVER YOUR SHARES CERTIFICATE(S) (IF ANY) AND OTHER REDEMPTION FORMS) TO THE TRANSFER AGENT ELECTRONICALLY USING THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY’S DWAC (DEPOSIT/WITHDRAWAL AT CUSTODIAN), AS DESCRIBED HEREIN. YOU SHOULD ENSURE THAT YOUR BANK OR BROKER COMPLIES WITH THE REQUIREMENTS IDENTIFIED ELSEWHERE HEREIN.

The Adjournment Proposal, if adopted, will allow our Board to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates or indefinitely, if necessary or convenient, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the any of the foregoing proposals. Notwithstanding the order of the resolutions on the notice to the Extraordinary General Meeting, the Adjournment Proposal may be presented first to our shareholders if, based on the tabulated vote collected at the time of the Extraordinary General Meeting, there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Trust Amendment Proposal.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are not approved and we do not consummate our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of our IPO in accordance with our Articles, we will: (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the Class A ordinary shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Class A ordinary shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. As a result of the liquidation process, all investors will lose the potential investment in a target company and any price appreciation in the combined company.

There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up. In the event of a liquidation, the holders of our Class B ordinary shares (the “Class B ordinary shares” and, together with the Class A ordinary shares, the “shares” or “ordinary shares”), including Worldwide Webb Acquisition Sponsor, LLC (our “Sponsor”), will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of their ownership of the Class B ordinary shares.

The approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of at least two-thirds of the then issued and outstanding ordinary shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting, either in person or where proxies are allowed, by proxy, vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting. The approval of the Trust Amendment Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of at least 65% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares.

The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then issued and outstanding ordinary shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting, either in person or where proxies are allowed, by proxy, vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Our Board has fixed the close of business on      , 2023, as the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting and any adjournment thereof. Only holders of record of the ordinary shares on that date are entitled to have their votes counted at the Extraordinary General Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

After careful consideration of all relevant factors, our Board has determined that the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and, if presented, the Adjournment Proposal are advisable and recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” such proposals.

Under our Articles, no other business may be transacted at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Enclosed is the Proxy Statement containing detailed information concerning the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal, the Adjournment Proposal and the Extraordinary General Meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting, we urge you to read this material carefully and vote your ordinary shares.

Your vote is important. If you are a shareholder of record, please sign, date and return your proxy card as soon as possible to make sure that your shares are represented at the Extraordinary General Meeting. If you are a shareholder of record, you may also cast your vote in person at the Extraordinary General Meeting (including by virtual means as provided herein). If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, you must instruct your broker or bank how to vote your shares, or you may cast your vote in person at the Extraordinary General Meeting by obtaining a proxy from your brokerage firm or bank (including by virtual means as provided herein). Your failure to vote or instruct your broker or bank how to vote will mean that your ordinary shares will not count towards the quorum requirement for the Extraordinary General Meeting and will not be voted. An abstention or broker non-vote will be counted towards the quorum requirement but will not count as a vote cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

TO BE HELD AT       ON      , 2023

PROXY STATEMENT

The extraordinary general meeting (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”) of Worldwide Webb Acquisition Corp. (“we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”) will be held at       on      , 2023, or at such other time, on such other date and at such other place to which the meeting may be postponed or adjourned, or to attend virtually via the Internet. While shareholders are encouraged to attend the meeting virtually, you will be permitted to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting in person at the offices of Kirkland & Ellis LLP. You will be able to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting online, vote, view the list of shareholders entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting and submit your questions during the Extraordinary General Meeting by visiting https://www.cstproxy.com/      or by phone by dialing       (toll-free) within the U.S. and Canada or       (standard rates apply) outside of the U.S. and Canada. The sole purpose of the Extraordinary General Meeting is to consider and vote upon the following proposals:

The sole purpose of each of the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment Proposal is to provide the Company with sufficient time to consummate its pending, previously announced business combination with Aark Singapore Pte. Ltd. (“AARK”), pursuant to that certain Merger Agreement, dated March 11, 2023, among the Company, WWAC Amalgamation Sub Pte. Ltd. and AARK (the “Merger Agreement”). Our IPO prospectus and Articles initially contemplated that we had 18 months from the closing of our IPO to complete an initial business combination. On April 14, 2023, our shareholders approved an amendment to the Articles to extend the date by which we must consummate a business combination from 18 months from the closing of our IPO to 24 months

from the closing of our IPO. Our board of directors (the “Board”) believes that there will not be sufficient time before the current deadline in the Company’s charter to complete the initial business combination. Accordingly, our Board believes that the Extension is necessary in order to be able to consummate the business combination. Therefore, our Board has determined that it is in the best interests of our shareholders to extend the date by which the Company must consummate the business combination to the Extended Date in order to provide our shareholders with the opportunity to participate in the prospective investment.

In connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal, shareholders may elect to redeem their Class A ordinary shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable) earned on the funds in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, if any, divided by the number of then outstanding Class A ordinary shares, and which election we refer to as the “Election.” An Election can be made regardless of whether such Class A ordinary shareholders vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal and an Election can also be made by holders of Class A ordinary shares (the “Class A ordinary shareholders”) who do not vote, or do not instruct their broker or bank how to vote, at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Class A ordinary shareholders may make an Election regardless of whether such Class A ordinary shareholders were holders as of the record date. Class A ordinary shareholders who do not make the Election would be entitled to have their shares redeemed for cash if we have not completed our initial business combination by the Extended Date. In addition, regardless of whether Class A ordinary shareholders vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal, or do not vote, or do not instruct their broker or bank how to vote, at the Extraordinary General Meeting, if the Extension is implemented and a public shareholder does not make an Election, they will retain the right to vote on any proposed initial business combination in the future and the right to redeem their Class A ordinary shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of such initial business combination, including interest earned on the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable) and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, divided by the number of then issued Class A ordinary shares, in the event a proposed business combination is completed. We are not asking you to vote on any proposed business combination at this time. In due course, we intend to file a separate definitive proxy statement/prospectus pursuant to which we will seek approval of the business combination, among other things, at a separate extraordinary general meeting. If the Extension Amendment Proposal and Trust Amendment Proposal are not approved, we may not be able to consummate a business combination. We urge you to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting regarding the Extension Amendment and Trust Amendment Proposal.

The withdrawal of funds from the Trust Account in connection with the Election will reduce the amount held in the Trust Account following the Election, and the amount remaining in the Trust Account may be only a small fraction of the approximately $      that was in the Trust Account as of      , 2023. In such event, we may need to obtain additional funds to complete an initial business combination, and there can be no assurance that such funds will be available on terms acceptable or at all.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are not approved and we do not consummate our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of our IPO in accordance with our Articles, we will: (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the Class A ordinary shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Class A ordinary shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. As a result of the liquidation process, all investors will lose the potential investment in a target company and any price appreciation in the combined company.

There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up. In the event of a liquidation, the holders of our Class B ordinary shares (the “Class B ordinary shares” and, together with the Class A ordinary shares, the “Units” or “ordinary shares”), including our Sponsor, will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of their ownership of the Class B ordinary shares.

Based upon the amount in the Trust Account as of      , 2023, which was $     , we anticipate that the per-share price at which Class A ordinary shares will be redeemed from cash held in the Trust Account will be approximately $      at the time of the Extraordinary General Meeting. The closing price of the Class A ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) on      , 2023, the most recent practicable closing price prior to the mailing of this Proxy Statement, was $     . We cannot assure shareholders that they will be able to sell their shares in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in our securities when such shareholders wish to sell their shares.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, we will (1) remove from the Trust Account an amount (the “Withdrawal Amount”) equal to the number of Class A ordinary shares properly redeemed multiplied by the per-share price, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay income taxes, if any, divided by the number of then outstanding Class A ordinary shares and (2) deliver to the holders of such redeemed Class A ordinary shares their pro rata portion of the Withdrawal Amount. The remainder of such funds will remain in the Trust Account and will be available for use by us in connection with consummating an initial business combination on or before the Extended Date. Holders of Class A ordinary shares who do not redeem their Class A ordinary shares now will retain their redemption rights and their ability to vote on any initial business combination through the Extended Date if the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved.

Under the Trust Amendment Proposal, we will amend the Trust Agreement to extend the date on which Continental must liquidate the Trust Account to the Extended Date.

Our Board has fixed the close of business on      , 2023 as the record date for determining our shareholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting and any adjournment thereof. Only holders of record of the ordinary shares on that date are entitled to have their votes counted at the Extraordinary General Meeting or any adjournment thereof. On the Record date of the Extraordinary General Meeting, there were 10,468,054 ordinary shares issued and outstanding, of which 5,750,000 are Class B ordinary shares, and 4,718,054 are Class A ordinary shares. The Class B ordinary shares carry voting rights in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, and we have been informed by our Sponsor, which holds 4,500,000 Class B ordinary shares, that they intend to vote in favor of the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal.

This Proxy Statement contains important information about the Extraordinary General Meeting and the proposals. Please read it carefully and vote your shares.

We will pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies. We have engaged Morrow Sodali LLC to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Extraordinary General Meeting. We have agreed to pay Morrow Sodali LLC a fee of $20,000. We will also reimburse Morrow Sodali LLC for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and will indemnify Morrow Sodali LLC and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses. In addition to these mailed proxy materials, our directors and officers may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other means of communication. These parties will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We may also reimburse brokerage firms, banks and other agents for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners.

This Proxy Statement is dated      , 2023 and is first being mailed to shareholders on or about      , 2023.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

These Questions and Answers are only summaries of the matters they discuss. They do not contain all of the information that may be important to you. You should read carefully the entire document, including the annexes to this Proxy Statement.

We are not asking you to vote on any proposed business combination at this time. In due course, we intend to file a separate definitive proxy statement/prospectus pursuant to which we will seek approval of the business

combination, among other things, at a separate extraordinary general meeting. If the Extension is not approved, we may not be able to consummate a business combination. We urge you to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting regarding the Extension Amendment and Trust Amendment.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, the approval of the Trust Amendment Proposal will constitute consent for us to remove the Withdrawal Amount from the Trust Account and deliver to the holders of redeemed Class A ordinary shares their pro rata portion of the Withdrawal Amount. The remainder of the funds will remain in the Trust Account and will be available for our use in connection with consummating a business combination on or before the Extended Date.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved and the Extension is implemented, the removal of the Withdrawal Amount from the Trust Account in connection with the Election will reduce the amount held in the Trust Account following the Election. We cannot predict the amount that will remain in the Trust Account if the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved and the amount remaining in the Trust Account may be only a small fraction of the approximately $      that was in the Trust Account as of      , 2023. In such event, we may need to obtain additional funds to complete an initial business combination, and there can be no assurance that such funds will be available on terms acceptable or at all.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are not approved and we do not consummate our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of our IPO in accordance with our Articles, we will: (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the Class A ordinary shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Class A ordinary shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. As a result of the liquidation process, all investors will lose the potential investment in a target company and any price appreciation in the combined company.

There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up. In the event of a liquidation, the holders of our Class B ordinary shares, including our Sponsor, will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of their ownership of the Class B ordinary shares.

While we have entered into the Merger Agreement and are currently in the process of completing the business combination, the Board currently believes that there will not be sufficient time before 24 months from the closing of our IPO to complete the business combination. We are asking for an extension of this timeframe in order to have sufficient time to complete a business combination, which our Board believes is in the best interest of our shareholders. We believe that given our expenditure of time, effort and money on searching for potential business combination opportunities, circumstances warrant providing Class A ordinary shareholders an opportunity to participate in a business combination.

Accordingly, our Board is proposing (a) the Extension Amendment Proposal to amend our Articles as provided in the resolution in the form set forth in Annex A hereto to extend the date by which we must (1)

consummate our initial business combination, (2) cease our operations except for the purpose of winding up if we fail to complete such business combination, and (3) redeem all the Class A ordinary shares, from 24 months from the closing of our IPO to 30 months from the closing of our IPO, or such earlier date as is determined by our Board to be in the best interests of the Company, and (b) the Trust Amendment Proposal to amend the Trust Agreement in the form set forth in Annex B to extend the date on which Continental must liquidate the Trust Account established in connection with our IPO if we have not completed a business combination.

The Extension Amendment Proposal would give us the opportunity to complete a business combination, which our Board believes in the best interests of the shareholders. The Company also believes that, given the Company’s expenditure of time, effort and money on pursuing a business combination, including the fact that we have already entered into a Merger Agreement and are in the process of completing the business combination, circumstances warrant providing those who believe they might find the business combination to be an attractive investment with an opportunity to consider such transaction. In addition, approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal isa condition to the implementation of the Trust Amendment Proposal. If you do not elect to redeem your Class A ordinary shares, you will retain the right to vote on any proposed initial business combination in the future and the right to redeem your Class A ordinary shares in connection with such initial business combination.

Our Board recommends that you vote in favor of the Extension Amendment Proposal.

Our Board recommends that you vote in favor of the Trust Amendment Proposal.

If presented, our Board recommends that you vote in favor of the Adjournment Proposal.

The Class B ordinary shares carry voting rights in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, and we have been informed by our Sponsor that it intends to vote in favor of the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal.

In addition, our Sponsor, directors, advisors or any of their affiliates may purchase Class A ordinary shares in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting. However, they have no current commitments, plans or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions. None of the funds in the Trust Account will be used to purchase Class A ordinary shares in such transactions. Any such purchases that are completed after the record date for the Extraordinary General Meeting may include an agreement with a selling shareholder that such shareholder, for so long as it remains the record holder of the shares in question, will vote in favor of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal and/or will not exercise its redemption rights with respect to the shares so purchased. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood that the resolutions to be put to the Extraordinary General Meeting are approved by the requisite number of votes. In the event that such purchases do occur, the purchasers may seek to purchase shares from shareholders who would otherwise have voted against the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal and/or elected to redeem their shares for a portion of the Trust Account. Any such privately negotiated purchases may be effected at purchase prices that are below or in excess of the per-share pro rata portion of the Trust Account. Any Class A ordinary shares held by or subsequently purchased by our affiliates may be voted in favor of the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment proposals.

Broker non-votes, abstentions or the failure to vote on the Extension Amendment Proposal will have no effect with respect to the approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal, but will have the same effect as votes “AGAINTST” the Trust Amendment Proposal.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are not approved and we do not consummate our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of our IPO in accordance with our Articles, we will: (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the Class A ordinary shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Class A ordinary shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. As a result of the liquidation process, all investors will lose the potential investment in a target company and any price appreciation in the combined company.

There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up. In the event of a liquidation, the holders of our Class B ordinary shares, including our Sponsor, will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of their ownership of the Class B ordinary shares.

Upon approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal by the requisite number of votes, the amendments to our Articles that are set forth in Annex A hereto will become effective. We will remain a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and our Class A ordinary shares will remain publicly traded.

The Withdrawal Amount from the Trust Account will reduce the amount remaining in the Trust Account and increase the percentage interest of our ordinary shares held by our Sponsor as a result of their ownership of the Class B ordinary shares.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved but we do not complete our initial business combination by the Extended Date (or, if such date is further extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date), we will: (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the Class A ordinary shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Class A ordinary shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. As a

result of the liquidation process, all investors will lose the potential investment in a target company and any price appreciation in the combined company.

There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up. In the event of a liquidation, the holders of our Class B ordinary shares, including our Sponsor, will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of their ownership of the Class B ordinary shares.

With regard to the SEC’s investment company proposals included in the SPAC Rule Proposals, while the funds in the Trust Account have, since the Company’s initial public offering, been held only within U.S. government securities within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in an open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting certain conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, to mitigate the risk of being viewed as operating an unregistered investment company (including pursuant to the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act), we may, on or prior to the 24 month anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement relating to our initial public offering, instruct Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the trustee with respect to the Trust Account, to liquidate the U.S. government securities or money market funds held in the Trust Account and thereafter to hold all funds in the Trust Account in demand deposit accounts or certificates of deposit until the earlier of consummation of our initial business combination or liquidation, which may reduce the dollar amount that our Class A ordinary shareholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company. Interest on the Trust Account is variable and is currently expected to be approximately 5% per annum.

Please note, however, that if on the record date your shares were held, not in your name, but rather in an account at a brokerage firm, custodian bank, or other nominee then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by that organization. If your

shares are held in street name, and you wish to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting and vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting, you must bring to the Extraordinary General Meeting a legal proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee holding your shares, confirming your beneficial ownership of the shares and giving you the right to vote your shares.

Any shareholder wishing to attend the virtual meeting should register for the meeting by      , 2023 (one week prior to the meeting date). To register for the Extraordinary General Meeting, please follow these instructions as applicable to the nature of your ownership of ordinary shares:

If your shares are registered in your name with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company and you wish to attend the online-only Extraordinary General Meeting, go to https://www.cstproxy.com/     , enter the control number included on your proxy card or notice of the meeting and click on the “Click here to preregister for the online meeting” link at the top of the page. Just prior to the start of the meeting you will need to log back into the meeting site using your control number. Pre-registration is recommended but is not required in order to attend.

Beneficial shareholders (those holding shares through a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other holder of record) who wish to attend the virtual meeting and vote must obtain a legal proxy by contacting their account representative at the bank, broker, or other nominee that holds their shares and e-mail a copy (a legible photograph is sufficient) of their legal proxy to proxy@continentalstock.com. Continental will issue a control number and email it back with the meeting information.

The Extension Amendment Proposal must be approved as a special resolution under the Cayman Islands Companies Act (as revised) and our Articles, being the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the then issued and outstanding ordinary shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting, either in person or where proxies are allowed, by proxy, vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

The Trust Amendment Proposal must be approved as a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of at least 65% of the issued and outstanding shares.

The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then issued and outstanding ordinary shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting, either in person or where proxies are allowed, by proxy, vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Accordingly, if a valid quorum is otherwise established, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of any vote on the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal, but will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Trust Amendment Proposal.

We believe all the proposals presented to the shareholders will be considered non-discretionary and therefore your broker, bank, or nominee cannot vote your shares without your instruction. Your bank, broker, or other nominee can vote your shares only if you provide instructions on how to vote. You should

instruct your broker to vote your shares in accordance with directions you provide. If your shares are held by your broker as your nominee, which we refer to as being held in “street name,” you may need to obtain a proxy form from the institution that holds your shares and follow the instructions included on that form regarding how to instruct your broker to vote your shares.

Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy (or one is submitted on your behalf by your broker, bank or other nominee) or if you vote in person at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted towards the quorum requirement but will not count as a vote cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting. In the absence of a quorum, the chairman of the meeting has power to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Shareholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name. If on the record date your shares were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, then you are a shareholder of record. As a shareholder of record, you may vote in person at the Extraordinary General Meeting or vote by proxy. Whether or not you plan to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting in person, we urge you to fill out and return the enclosed proxy card to ensure your vote is counted.

Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker or Bank. If on the record date your shares were held, not in your name, but rather in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, dealer, or other similar organization, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by that organization. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or other agent on how to vote the shares in your account. You are also invited to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting. However, since you are not the shareholder of record, you may not vote your shares in person at the Extraordinary General Meeting unless you request and obtain a valid proxy from your broker or other agent.

Our shareholders do not have appraisal rights in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Trust Amendment Proposal.

Whether or not you plan to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting in person (including by virtual means), we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. You may submit your proxy by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying pre-addressed postage paid envelope. You may still attend the Extraordinary General Meeting and vote in person if you have already voted by proxy.

If your ordinary shares are held in “street name” by a broker or other agent, you have the right to direct your broker or other agent on how to vote the shares in your account. You are also invited to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting. However, since you are not the shareholder of record, you may not vote your shares in person at the Extraordinary General Meeting unless you request and obtain a valid proxy from your broker or other agent.

In order to tender your ordinary shares (and/or deliver your share certificate(s) (if any) and other redemption forms) for redemption, you must elect either to physically tender your share certificates to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent, at Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 1 State Street 30th Floor, New York, New York, 10004, Attn: SPAC Redemption Team, spacredemptions@continentalstock.com, or to tender your ordinary shares (and/or deliver your share certificate(s) (if any) and other redemption forms) to the transfer agent electronically using The Depository Trust Company’s (“DTC”) DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) system, which election would likely be determined based on the manner in which you hold your shares. You should tender your ordinary shares in the manner described above prior to 5:00 P.M. Eastern Time on ____________, 2023 (two business days before the Extraordinary General Meeting).

Any request for redemption, once made by a holder of public ordinary shares, may not be withdrawn once submitted to us unless our Board determines (in its sole discretion) to permit the withdrawal of such redemption request (which they may do in whole or in part).

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Proxy Statement contains statements that are forward-looking and as such are not historical facts. This includes, without limitation, statements regarding the Company’s financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for future operations. These statements constitute projections, forecasts and forward-looking statements, and are not guarantees of performance. They involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these statements. Such statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. When used in this Proxy Statement, words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “strive,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. When the Company discusses its strategies or plans, it is making projections, forecasts or forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on the beliefs of, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to, the Company’s management. Actual results and shareholders’ value will be affected by a variety of risks and factors, including, without limitation, international, national and local economic conditions, merger, acquisition and business combination risks, financing risks, geo-political risks, acts of terror or war, and those risk factors described under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023, in this Proxy Statement and in other reports the Company files with the SEC. Many of the risks and factors that will determine these results and shareholders’ value are beyond the Company’s ability to control or predict.

All such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Proxy Statement. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in the Company’s expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on the Company’s behalf are qualified in their entirety by this “Forward-Looking Statements” section.

RISK FACTORS

You should consider carefully all of the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023 and in the other reports we file with the SEC before making a decision to invest in our securities. Furthermore, if any of the following events occur, our business, financial condition and operating results may be materially adversely affected or we could face liquidation. In that event, the trading price of our securities could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. The risks and uncertainties described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently believe are not material, may also become important factors that adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results or result in our liquidation.

If we were deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, we may be forced to abandon our efforts to complete an initial business combination and instead be required to liquidate the Company. To avoid that result, on or shortly prior to the 24-month anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement relating to our initial public offering, we may liquidate securities held in the Trust Account and instead hold all funds in the Trust Account in demand deposit accounts or certificates of deposit, which may reduce the dollar amount our Class A ordinary shareholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company. Interest on the Trust Account is variable and is currently expected to be approximately 5% per annum.

On March 30, 2022, the SEC issued the SPAC Rule Proposals, relating, among other things, to circumstances in which SPACs such as us could potentially be subject to the Investment Company Act and the regulations thereunder. The SPAC Rule Proposals would provide a safe harbor for such companies from the definition of “investment company” under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act, provided that a SPAC satisfies certain criteria. To comply with the duration limitation of the proposed safe harbor, a SPAC would have a limited time period to announce and complete a de-SPAC transaction. Specifically, to comply with the safe harbor, the SPAC Rule Proposals would require a SPAC to file a report on Form 8-K announcing that it has entered into an agreement with a target company for an initial business combination no later than 18 months after the effective date of the registration statement relating to the SPAC’s initial public offering. Such SPAC would then be required to complete its initial business combination no later than 24 months after the effective date of the registration statement relating to its initial public offering.

There is currently uncertainty concerning the applicability of the Investment Company Act to a SPAC, including a company like ours. As a result, it is possible that a claim could be made that we have been operating as an unregistered investment company. If we were deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, we might be forced to abandon our efforts to complete an initial business combination and instead be required to liquidate. If we are required to liquidate, our investors would not be able to realize the benefits of owning stock in a successor operating business, including the potential appreciation in the value of our shares following such a transaction.

The funds in the Trust Account have, since our IPO, been held only in U.S. government securities within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a) (16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in an open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting certain conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company. However, to mitigate the risk of us being deemed to have been operating as an unregistered investment company (including under the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act, as amended), we may, on or shortly prior to the 24 month anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement relating to our initial public offering, instruct Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the trustee with respect to the Trust Account, to liquidate the U.S. government securities or money market funds held in the Trust Account and thereafter to hold all funds in the Trust Account in demand deposit accounts or certificates of deposit until the earlier of consummation of our initial business combination or liquidation, which may reduce the dollar amount our Class A ordinary shareholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company. Interest on the Trust Account is variable and is currently expected to be approximately 5% per annum.

In addition, even prior to the 24-month anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement relating to our initial public offering, we may be deemed to be an investment company. The longer that the funds in the Trust Account are held in short-term U.S. government securities or in money market funds invested exclusively in such securities, even prior to the 24-month anniversary, there is a greater risk that we may be considered an unregistered investment company, in which case we may be required to liquidate. Accordingly, we may determine, in our discretion, to liquidate the securities held in the Trust Account at any time, even prior to the 24 month anniversary, and instead hold all funds in the Trust Account as described above.

Any business combination may be subject to U.S. foreign investment regulations, which may impose conditions on or prevent the consummation of our initial business combination. Such conditions or limitations could also potentially make our Class A ordinary shares less attractive to investors or cause our future investments to be subject to U.S. foreign investment regulations.

Investments that involve the acquisition of, or investment in, a U.S. business by a non-U.S. investor may be subject to U.S. laws that regulate foreign investments in U.S. businesses and access by foreign persons to technology developed and produced in the United States. These laws include Section 721 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended by the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018, and the regulations at 31 C.F.R. Parts 800 and 802, as amended, administered by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS” ).

Whether CFIUS has jurisdiction to review an acquisition or investment transaction depends on, among other factors, the nature and structure of the transaction, including the level of beneficial ownership interest and the nature of any information or governance rights involved. For example, investments that result in “control” of a “U.S. business” by a “foreign person” (in each case, as such terms are defined in 31 C.F.R. Part 800) always are subject to CFIUS jurisdiction. Significant CFIUS reform legislation, which was fully implemented through regulations that became effective in 2020, expanded the scope of CFIUS’s jurisdiction to investments that do not result in control of a U.S. business by a foreign person, but afford certain foreign investors certain information or governance rights in a U.S. business that has a nexus to “ critical technologies,” “ covered investment critical infrastructure,” and/or “ sensitive personal data” (in each case, as such terms are defined in 31 C.F.R. Part 800).

All of our Sponsor’s managers and officers are U.S. citizens and all owners of our Sponsor are also U.S. citizens. Our Sponsor is not controlled by, and does not have substantial ties to, any “foreign person” such that a business combination would automatically be subject to CFIUS review. However, depending on the beneficial ownership of any prospective target company and the composition and governance rights of any PIPE investors in connection with a business combination, a business combination could result in investments that would be considered by CFIUS to be covered investments or a covered control transaction that CFIUS would have authority to review.

To the extent that this occurs, CFIUS or another U.S. governmental agency could choose to review a business combination or past or proposed transactions involving new or existing foreign investors in the prospective target company, even if a filing with CFIUS is or was not required at the time of such transaction. Any review and approval of an investment or transaction by CFIUS may have outsized impacts on transaction certainty, timing, feasibility, and cost, among other things. CFIUS policies and agency practices are rapidly evolving, and in the event that CFIUS reviews a business combination or one or more proposed or existing investments by foreign investors in a prospective target company, there can be no assurances that such investors will be able to maintain, or proceed with, such investments on terms acceptable to the parties to a business combination or such investors. Among other things, CFIUS could seek to impose limitations or restrictions on, or prohibit, a business combination or investments by such investors. CFIUS could also order us to divest all or a portion of a target company if we had proceeded without first obtaining CFIUS clearance.

If CFIUS elects to review a business combination, the time necessary to complete such review of the business combination or a decision by CFIUS to prohibit the business combination could prevent us from completing a business combination prior to 24 months from the closing of our IPO or the Extended Date, as applicable.

If we are not able to consummate a business combination within 24 months from the closing of our IPO or by the Extended Date, as applicable, we will: (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the Class A ordinary shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Class A ordinary shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. As a result of the liquidation process, all investors will lose the potential investment in a target company and any price appreciation in the combined company. There will also be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up.

BACKGROUND

We are a blank check company incorporated on March 5, 2021 as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities.

On October 22, 2021, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000 Units, at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $200,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 8,000,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor at a price of $1.00 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of $8,000,000. On November 15, 2021, the underwriters exercised their overallotment option to purchase 3,000,000 Units, at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $30,000,000. Also on November 15, 2021, we consummated an additional sale of 900,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor at a price of $1.00 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of $900,000.

Following the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, a total of $232,300,000 was placed in the Trust Account. On April 14, 2023, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders and approved two proposals to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. In connection with the vote to approve these proposals, holders of 18,281,946 Class A ordinary shares exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.36 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of $189,434,603, leaving $48,887,722 in the Company’s trust account immediately following such redemptions. The proceeds held in the Trust Account may be invested by the trustee only in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting certain conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company. As of      , funds held in the Trust Account totaled approximately $      and were held in a money market fund invested in U.S. treasury bills. However, to mitigate the risk of being viewed as operating as an unregistered investment company (including pursuant to the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act), we may, on or prior to the 24 month anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement relating to our initial public offering, instruct Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the trustee with respect to the Trust Account, to liquidate the U.S. government securities or money market funds held in the Trust Account and thereafter to hold all funds in the Trust Account in demand deposit accounts or certificates of deposit until the earlier of consummation of our initial business combination or liquidation, which may reduce the dollar amount our Class A ordinary shareholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company. Interest on the Trust Account is variable and is currently expected to be approximately 5% per annum.

Our Sponsor, directors, officers and advisors have interests in the proposals that may be different from, or in addition to, your interests as a shareholder. These interests include, among other things, direct or indirect ownership of Class B ordinary shares and advances that will not be repaid in the event of our winding up and the possibility of future compensatory arrangements. See the section entitled “The Extraordinary General Meeting — Interests of our Sponsor, Directors, Officers and Advisors.”

On the Record date of the Extraordinary General Meeting, there were 10,468,054 ordinary shares issued and outstanding, of which 5,750,000 are Class B ordinary shares, and 4,718,054 are Class A ordinary shares. The Class B ordinary shares carry voting rights in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, and we have been informed by our Sponsor, which holds 4,500,000 Class B ordinary shares, that they intend to vote in favor of the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal.

Our principal executive offices are located at 770 E Technology Way F13-16, Orem, Utah 84097 and our telephone number is (415) 629-9066.

THE EXTENSION AMENDMENT PROPOSAL AND THE TRUST AMENDMENT PROPOSAL

The Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal

We are proposing to amend our Articles to extend the date by which we have to consummate a business combination to the Extended Date.

The approval of both the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are essential to the implementation of our Board’s plan to extend the date by which we must consummate our initial business combination. Approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are both a condition to the implementation of the Extension.

The sole purpose of each of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal is to provide the Company with sufficient time to consummate its pending, previously announced business combination with AARK, pursuant to the Merger Agreement. The Board believes that there will not be sufficient time before the current deadline in the Company’s charter to complete the initial business combination. Accordingly, our Board believes that the Extension is necessary in order to be able to consummate the business combination. Therefore, our Board has determined that it is in the best interests of our shareholders to extend the date by which the Company must consummate the business combination to the Extended Date in order to provide our shareholders with the opportunity to participate in the prospective investment.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are not approved and we have not consummated a business combination by within 24 months from the closing of our IPO, we will: (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the Class A ordinary shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Class A ordinary shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In the event of a liquidation, the holders of our Class B ordinary shares, including our Sponsor, will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of their ownership of the Class B ordinary shares. As a result of the liquidation process, all investors will lose the potential investment in a target company and any price appreciation in the combined company. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up.

The purpose of the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment Proposal is to allow us more time to enter into and complete an initial business combination, which our Board believes is in the best interest of our shareholders. The Articles provide that we have until 24 months from the closing of our IPO to complete our initial business combination. Our Board currently believes that it is improbable that we will be able to complete our initial business combination before 24 months from the closing of our IPO. Accordingly, our Board believes that in order for us to potentially consummate an initial business combination, we will need to obtain the Extension to 30 months from the closing of our IPO, or such earlier date as is determined by our Board to be in the best interests of the Company.

A copy of the proposed amendments to the Articles of the Company is attached to this Proxy Statement in Annex A.

The Trust Amendment Proposal

A copy of the proposed amendments to the Trust Agreement is attached to this Proxy Statement in Annex B.

Reasons for the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal

Our Articles provide that if our shareholders approve an amendment to our Articles that would affect the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem all of our Class A ordinary shares if we do not complete our initial business combination before 24 months from the closing of our IPO, we will provide our Class A ordinary shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their ordinary shares upon such approval at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable) earned on the funds in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, if any, divided by the number of then outstanding Class A ordinary shares. We believe that this provision of the Articles was included to protect our shareholders from having to sustain their investments for an unreasonably long period if we failed to find a suitable business combination in the timeframe contemplated by the Articles. In addition, approval of the Trust Amendment Proposal is a condition to the implementation of the Extension Amendment Proposal.

The sole purpose of each of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal is to provide the Company with sufficient time to complete the business combination, which our Board believes is in the best interest of our shareholders. The Company believes that, given that the Company has already entered into a Merger Agreement and is in the process of completing the business combination, circumstances warrant providing Class A ordinary shareholders an opportunity to consider and vote upon the proposed business combination at an appropriate time. Our Board currently believes that it is improbable that we will be able to complete our initial business combination before 24 months from the closing of our IPO.

Accordingly, our Board believes that in order for us to potentially consummate an initial business combination, we will need to obtain the Extension to 30 months from the closing of our IPO, or such earlier date as is determined by our Board to be in the best interests of the Company. In addition, approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal is a condition to the implementation of the Trust Amendment Proposal. If you do not elect to redeem your Class A ordinary shares, you will retain the right to vote on any proposed initial business combination in the future and the right to redeem your Class A ordinary shares in connection with such initial business combination.

If Either the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Trust Amendment Proposal Is Not Approved

The approval of both the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are essential to the implementation of our Board’s plan to extend the date by which we must consummate our initial business combination. Therefore, our Board will abandon and not implement either amendment unless our shareholders approve both the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are not approved and we do not consummate our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of our IPO in accordance with our Articles, we will: (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the Class A ordinary shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Class A ordinary shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. As a result of the liquidation process, all investors will lose the potential investment in a target company and any price appreciation in the combined company.

There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up. In the event of a liquidation, the holders of our Class B ordinary shares, including our Sponsor, will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of their ownership of the Class B ordinary shares.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are Approved

Upon approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal by the requisite number of votes, our Articles will be amended pursuant to the resolution in the form set forth in Annex A hereto. We will remain a reporting company under the Exchange Act, and our Class A ordinary shares will remain publicly traded.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved and the Extension is implemented, the removal of the Withdrawal Amount from the Trust Account in connection with the Election will reduce the amount held in the Trust Account following the Election. We cannot predict the amount that will remain in the Trust Account if the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved and the amount remaining in the Trust Account may be only a small fraction of the approximately $      that was in the Trust Account as of      , 2023. In such event, we may need to obtain additional funds to complete our initial business combination, and there can be no assurance that such funds will be available on terms acceptable or at all.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved but we do not complete our initial business combination by the Extended Date (or, if such date is further extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date), we will: (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the Class A ordinary shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Class A ordinary shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. As a result of the liquidation process, all investors will lose the potential investment in a target company and any price appreciation in the combined company. We cannot assure you that the per share distribution from the Trust Account, if we liquidate, will not be less than $10.10 due to unforeseen claims of creditors. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up. In the event of a liquidation, the holders of our Class B ordinary shares, including our Sponsor, will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of their ownership of the Class B ordinary shares.

Redemption Rights

If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, and the Extension is implemented, each of our Class A ordinary shareholders may submit an election that, if the Extension is implemented, such public shareholder elects to redeem all or a portion of its Class A ordinary shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable) earned on the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, if any, divided by the number of then outstanding Class A ordinary shares. You will also be able to redeem your Class A ordinary shares in connection with any proposed initial business combination or if we have not consummated our initial business combination by the Extended Date.

TO DEMAND REDEMPTION, PRIOR TO 5:00 P.M. EASTERN TIME ON      , 2023 (TWO BUSINESS DAYS BEFORE THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING), YOU SHOULD ELECT EITHER TO PHYSICALLY TENDER YOUR SHARES (AND/OR DELIVER YOUR SHARE CERTIFICATE(S) (IF ANY) AND OTHER REDEMPTION FORMS) TO CONTINENTAL STOCK TRANSFER & TRUST COMPANY OR TO TENDER YOUR SHARES TO THE TRANSFER AGENT ELECTRONICALLY USING DTC’S DWAC (DEPOSIT/WITHDRAWAL AT CUSTODIAN), AS DESCRIBED HEREIN. YOU SHOULD ENSURE THAT YOUR BANK OR BROKER COMPLIES WITH THE REQUIREMENTS IDENTIFIED ELSEWHERE HEREIN.

In order to tender your ordinary shares (and/or deliver your share certificate(s) (if any) and other redemption forms) for redemption, you must elect either to physically tender your share certificates to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our transfer agent, at Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 1 State Street 30th Floor, New York, New York, 10004, Attn: SPAC Redemption Team, spacredemptions@continentalstock.com, or to tender your ordinary shares (and/or deliver your share certificate(s) (if any) and other redemption forms) to the transfer agent electronically using DTC’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) system, which election would likely be determined based on the manner in which you hold your shares. You should tender your ordinary shares in the manner described above prior to 5:00 P.M. Eastern Time on      , 2023 two business days before the Extraordinary General Meeting).

Through the DWAC system, this electronic delivery process can be accomplished by the shareholder, whether or not it is a record holder or its shares are held in “street name,” by contacting the transfer agent or its broker and requesting delivery of its shares through the DWAC system. Delivering shares physically may take significantly longer. In order to obtain a physical share certificate, a shareholder’s broker and/or clearing broker, DTC, and our transfer agent will need to act together to facilitate this request. There is a nominal cost associated with the above-referenced tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. The transfer agent will typically charge the tendering broker $100 and the broker would determine whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming holder. It is our understanding that shareholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. We do not have any control over this process or over the brokers or DTC, and it may take longer than two weeks to obtain a physical share certificate. Such shareholders will have less time to make their investment decision than those shareholders that tendering their shares through the DWAC system.

Shareholders who request physical share certificates and wish to redeem may be unable to meet the deadline for tendering their shares before exercising their redemption rights and thus will be unable to redeem their shares.

Certificates that have not been tendered in accordance with these procedures prior to the vote on the Extension Amendment Proposal at the Extraordinary General Meeting will not be redeemed for cash held in the Trust Account on the redemption date. In the event that a public shareholder tenders its shares and decides prior to the vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting that it does not want to redeem its shares, the shareholder may withdraw the tender. If you tendered your ordinary shares (and/or delivered your share certificate(s) (if any) and other redemption forms) for redemption to our transfer agent and decide prior to the vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting not to redeem your shares, you may request that our transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting our transfer agent at the address listed above. Any request for redemption, once made by a holder of public ordinary shares, may not be withdrawn once submitted to us unless our Board determines (in its sole discretion) to permit the withdrawal of such redemption request (which they may do in whole or in part). In the event that a public shareholder tenders shares and the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are not approved, these shares will not be redeemed and the physical certificates representing these shares will be returned to the shareholder promptly following the determination that the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal will not be approved. The transfer agent will hold the certificates of Class A ordinary shareholders that make the Election until such shares are redeemed for cash or returned to such shareholders.

If properly demanded, we will redeem each public share for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable) earned on the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, if any, divided by the number of then outstanding Class A ordinary shares. Based upon the amount in the Trust Account as of      , 2023, which was approximately $      , we anticipate that the per-share price at which Class A ordinary shares will be redeemed from cash held in the Trust Account will be approximately $       at the time of the Extraordinary General Meeting. The closing price of the Class A ordinary shares on Nasdaq on      , 2023, the most recent practicable closing price prior to the mailing of this Proxy Statement, was $      . We cannot assure shareholders that they will be able to sell their shares in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in our securities when such shareholders wish to sell their shares.

If you exercise your redemption rights, you will be exchanging your ordinary shares for cash and will no longer own the shares. You will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if you properly demand redemption and tender your ordinary shares (and/or deliver your share certificate(s) (if any) and other redemption forms) to our transfer agent prior to the vote on the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal at the Extraordinary General Meeting. We anticipate that a public shareholder who tenders ordinary shares (and/or deliver share certificate(s) (if any) and other redemption forms) for redemption in connection with the vote to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal would receive payment of the redemption price for such shares soon after the completion of the Extension Amendment.

Recommendation of the Board

Our Board unanimously recommends that our shareholders vote “FOR” the approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal.

THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

Overview

The Adjournment Proposal, if adopted, will allow our Board to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates or indefinitely, if necessary or convenient, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal. In no event will our Board adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting for more than 30 days.

Consequences if the Adjournment Proposal is Not Approved

If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved by our shareholders, our Board may not be able to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies or if our Board determines before the Extraordinary General Meeting that it is not necessary or no longer desirable to proceed with the other proposals.

Resolution to be Voted Upon

The full text of the resolution to be proposed is as follows:

“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that the adjournment of the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates to be determined by the chairman of the Extraordinary General Meeting, or indefinitely, if necessary or convenient, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies or if the Board determines before the Extraordinary General Meeting that it is not necessary or no longer desirable to proceed with the other proposals be confirmed, ratified and approved in all respects.”

Vote Required for approval

The Adjournment Proposal must be approved as an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then issued and outstanding ordinary shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting, either in person or where proxies are allowed, by proxy, vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as a vote cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Recommendation of the Board

If presented, our Board unanimously recommends that our shareholders vote “FOR” the approval of the Adjournment Proposal.

UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS FOR

SHAREHOLDERS EXERCISING REDEMPTION RIGHTS

The following is a discussion of U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable to U.S. Holders (as defined below) that make an Election if the Extension is implemented. Because the components of a unit are generally separable at the option of the holder, the holder of a unit generally should be treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as the owner of the underlying public share and one-half of one redeemable warrant. As a result, the discussion below with respect to holders of Class A ordinary shares and warrants should also apply to holders of units (as the deemed owners of the underlying Class A ordinary shares and warrants that constitute the units). This discussion applies only to Class A ordinary shares and warrants that are held as capital assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not describe all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to holders in light of their particular circumstances or status, including:

This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), proposed, temporary and final Treasury Regulations promulgated under the Code, and judicial and administrative interpretations thereof, all as of the date hereof. All of the foregoing is subject to change, which change could apply retroactively and could affect the tax considerations described herein. This discussion does not address U.S. federal taxes other than those pertaining to U.S. federal income taxation (such as estate or gift taxes, the alternative minimum tax or the Medicare tax on investment income), nor does it address any aspects of U.S. state or local taxation or non-U.S. taxation.

We have not and do not intend to seek any rulings from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) regarding the exercise of redemption rights. There can be no assurance that the IRS will not take positions inconsistent with the considerations discussed below or that any such positions would not be sustained by a court.

This discussion does not consider the tax treatment of partnerships or other pass-through entities or persons who hold our securities through such entities. If a partnership (or any entity or arrangement so characterized for

U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds Class A ordinary shares, the tax treatment of such partnership and a person treated as a partner of such partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships holding any Class A ordinary shares and persons that are treated as partners of such partnerships should consult their tax advisors as to the particular U.S. federal income tax consequences of an Election to them.

THIS DISCUSSION IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY, IS ONLY A SUMMARY OF CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE EXERCISE OF REDEMPTION RIGHTS, AND IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR CAREFUL TAX PLANNING. EACH HOLDER SHOULD CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO SUCH HOLDER OF AN EXERCISE OF REDEMPTION RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE EFFECTS OF U.S. FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX LAWS.

As used herein, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of Class A ordinary shares who or that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

Redemption of Class A Ordinary Shares

In addition to the passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) considerations discussed below under “— PFIC Considerations,” the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the redemption of a U.S. Holder’s Class A ordinary shares pursuant to an Election will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale of such shares redeemed under Section 302 of the Code or is treated as a distribution under Section 301 of the Code.

If the redemption qualifies as a sale of Class A ordinary shares, a U.S. Holder will be treated as described below under the section entitled “— U.S. Holders — Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Ordinary Shares.” If the redemption does not qualify as a sale of Class A ordinary shares, a U.S. Holder will be treated as receiving a distribution with the tax consequences described below under the section entitled “— U.S. Holders — Taxation of Distributions.”

The redemption of Class A ordinary shares will generally qualify as a sale of the Class A ordinary shares that are redeemed if such redemption (i) is “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the redeeming U.S. Holder, (ii) results in a “complete termination” of such U.S. Holder’s interest or (iii) is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to such U.S. Holder. These tests are explained more fully below.

For purposes of such tests, a U.S. Holder takes into account not only Class A ordinary shares actually owned by such U.S. Holder, but also Class A ordinary shares that are constructively owned by such U.S. Holder. A redeeming U.S. Holder may constructively own, in addition to Class A ordinary shares owned directly, Class A ordinary shares owned by certain related individuals and entities in which such U.S. Holder has an interest or that have an interest in such U.S. Holder, as well as any Class A ordinary shares such U.S. Holder has a right to acquire by exercise of an option, which would generally include shares which could be acquired pursuant to the exercise of the warrants.

The redemption of Class A ordinary shares will generally be “substantially disproportionate” with respect to a redeeming U.S. Holder if the percentage of the respective entity’s outstanding voting shares that such U.S.

Holder actually or constructively owns immediately after the redemption is less than 80% of the percentage of the respective entity’s outstanding voting shares that such U.S. Holder actually or constructively owned immediately before the redemption. Prior to an initial business combination, the Class A ordinary shares may not be treated as voting shares for this purpose and, consequently, this substantially disproportionate test may not be applicable. There will be a complete termination of such U.S. Holder’s interest if either (i) all of the Class A ordinary shares actually or constructively owned by such U.S. Holder are redeemed or (ii) all of the Class A ordinary shares actually owned by such U.S. Holder are redeemed and such U.S. Holder is eligible to waive, and effectively waives in accordance with specific rules, the attribution of Class A ordinary shares owned by certain family members and such U.S. Holder does not constructively own any other Class A ordinary shares. The redemption of Class A ordinary shares will not be essentially equivalent to a dividend if it results in a “meaningful reduction” of such U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in the respective entity. Whether the redemption will result in a meaningful reduction in such U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest will depend on the particular facts and circumstances applicable to it. The IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority shareholder in a publicly held corporation who exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a “meaningful reduction.”

If none of the foregoing tests are satisfied, then the redemption of Class A ordinary shares will be treated as a distribution to the redeemed holder and the tax effects to such U.S. holder will be as described below under the section entitled “— Taxation of Distributions.” After the application of those rules, any remaining tax basis of the U.S. Holder in the redeemed Class A ordinary shares will be added to such holder’s adjusted tax basis in its remaining stock, or, if it has none, to such holder’s adjusted tax basis in its warrants or possibly in other stock constructively owned by it.

U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors as to the tax consequences of a redemption, including any special reporting requirements.

Taxation of Distributions

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below under “— PFIC Considerations,” if the redemption of a U.S. Holder’s Class A ordinary shares is treated as a distribution, as discussed above, such distribution will generally be treated as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Such dividends will be taxable to a corporate U.S. Holder at regular rates and will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction generally allowed to domestic corporations in respect of dividends received from other domestic corporations.

With respect to non-corporate U.S. Holders, dividends will generally be taxed at preferential long-term capital gains rates only if (i) Class A ordinary shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States or (ii) Class A ordinary shares are eligible for the benefits of an applicable income tax treaty, in each case, provided that the Company is not treated as a PFIC in the taxable year in which the dividend was paid or in any previous year and certain holding period and other requirements are met. Because we believe it is likely that we were a PFIC for our prior taxable year ended December 31, 2022, it is likely that the lower applicable long-term capital gains rate would not apply to any redemption proceeds treated as a distribution. Moreover, it is unclear whether redemption rights with respect to the Class A ordinary shares may prevent the holding period of such shares from commencing prior to the termination of such rights. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the lower rate for any redemption treated as a dividend with respect to Class A ordinary shares.

Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will generally constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in our Class A ordinary shares. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the Class A ordinary shares and will be treated as described below under the section entitled “— Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Ordinary Shares.”

Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Ordinary Shares

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below under “— PFIC Considerations,” if the redemption of a U.S. Holder’s Class A ordinary shares is treated as a sale or other taxable disposition, as discussed above, a U.S. Holder will generally recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the amount realized and (ii) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Class A ordinary shares redeemed.

Under tax law currently in effect, long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. Holders are generally subject to U.S. federal income tax at a reduced rate of tax. Capital gain or loss will constitute long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Class A ordinary shares exceeds one year. However, it is unclear whether the redemption rights with respect to the Class A ordinary shares described in this proxy statement may prevent the holding period of the Class A ordinary shares from commencing prior to the termination of such rights. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to various limitations. U.S. Holders who hold different blocks of Class A ordinary shares (Class A ordinary shares purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices) should consult their tax advisors to determine how the above rules apply to them.

PFIC Considerations

A foreign corporation will be a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes if at least 75% of its gross income in a taxable year is passive income. Alternatively, a foreign corporation will be a PFIC if at least 50% of its assets in a taxable year , ordinarily determined based on fair market value and averaged quarterly over the year, are held for the production of, or produce, passive income. Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, rents and royalties (other than certain rents or royalties derived from the active conduct of a trade or business) and gains from the disposition of assets giving rise to passive income.

We believe it is likely that we were a PFIC for our prior taxable years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022. Our PFIC status for our current taxable year beginning January 1, 2023, however, depends in part on whether we complete a business combination prior to the end of such year, as well as the timing and specifics of any such business combination. Because these and other facts on which any determination of PFIC status are based may not be known until the close of our current taxable year, there can be no assurances with respect to our PFIC status for such year. Even if we are not a PFIC for our current taxable year, a determination that we were a PFIC for any prior taxable year will continue to apply to any U.S. Holders who held our securities during such prior taxable years, absent certain elections described below. Further, we believe it is likely that we will be a PFIC for our taxable year beginning January 1, 2023, unless a business combination is completed prior to the end of such year, subject to the timing and structure of such business combination.

If we are determined to be a PFIC for any taxable year (or portion thereof) that is included in a U.S. Holder’s holding period for Class A ordinary shares and the U.S. Holder did not make a timely and effective “qualified electing fund” election for each of our taxable years as a PFIC in which the U.S. Holder held (or was deemed to hold) Class A ordinary shares (a “QEF Election”), a QEF Election along with a purging election, or a “mark-to-market” election, then such U.S. Holder will generally be subject to special and adverse rules (the “Default PFIC Regime”) with respect to:

THE PFIC RULES ARE VERY COMPLEX AND ARE IMPACTED BY VARIOUS FACTORS IN ADDITION TO THOSE DESCRIBED ABOVE. ALL U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE APPLICATION OF THE PFIC RULES TO THE REDEMPTION OF CLASS A ORDINARY SHARES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WHETHER A QEF ELECTION, A PURGING ELECTION, A MARK-TO-MARKET ELECTION OR ANY OTHER ELECTION IS AVAILABLE AND THE CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF MAKING OR HAVING MADE ANY SUCH ELECTION AND THE IMPACT OF ANY PROPOSED OR FINAL PFIC TREASURY REGULATIONS.

THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

Date, Time and Place. The Extraordinary General Meeting will be held at       Mountain Time on      , 2023, or at such other time, on such other date and at such other place to which the meeting may be postponed or adjourned, or to attend virtually via the Internet. While shareholders are encouraged to attend the meeting virtually, you will be permitted to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting in person at the offices of Kirkland & Ellis LLP, located at 95 South State Street, Salt Lake City, UT 84111. You will be able to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting online, vote and submit your questions during the Extraordinary General Meeting by visiting https://www.cstproxy.com/      or by phone dialing       (toll-free) within the U.S. and Canada or       (standard rates apply) outside of the U.S. and Canada, conference ID:      . The sole purpose of the Extraordinary General Meeting is to consider and vote upon the following proposals.

Voting Power; Record Date. You will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting, if you owned the ordinary shares at the close of business on September 22, 2023, the record date for the Extraordinary General Meeting. You will have one vote per proposal for each share of ordinary shares you owned at that time.

Votes Required. The approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of at least two-thirds of the then issued and outstanding ordinary shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting, either in person or where proxies are allowed, by proxy, vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting. The approval of the Trust Amendment Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of at least 65% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares. The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then issued and outstanding ordinary shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting, either in person or where proxies are allowed, by proxy, vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as a vote cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

On the Record date of the Extraordinary General Meeting, there were 10,468,054 ordinary shares issued and outstanding, of which 5,750,000 are Class B ordinary shares, and 4,718,054 are Class A ordinary shares. The Class B ordinary shares carry voting rights in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, and we have been informed by our Sponsor, which holds 4,500,000 Class B ordinary shares, that they intend to vote in favor of the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal.

If you do not want the Extension Amendment Proposal to be approved, you must vote “AGAINST” such proposal. If you do not want the Trust Amendment Proposal to be approved, you must abstain, not vote or vote “AGAINST” such proposal. If the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved, and the Extension is implemented, then the Withdrawal Amount will be withdrawn from the Trust Account and paid pro rata to the redeeming holders. You will still be entitled to make the Election if you vote against, abstain or do not vote on the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Trust Amendment Proposal.

Broker non-votes, abstentions or the failure to vote on the Trust Amendment Proposal will have the same effect as votes “AGAINST” the Trust Amendment Proposal. If a valid quorum is otherwise established, broker non-votes, abstentions or the failure to vote on the Extension Amendment Proposal will have no effect with respect to the approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal.

Proxies; Board Solicitation; Proxy Solicitor. Your proxy is being solicited on behalf of our Board on the proposals to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal being presented to shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting. We have engaged Morrow Sodali LLC to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Extraordinary General Meeting. No recommendation is being made as to whether you should elect to redeem your shares. Proxies may be solicited in person, by telephone or other means of

communication. If you grant a proxy, you may still revoke your proxy and vote your shares in person (including by virtual means as provided herein) at the Extraordinary General Meeting. You may contact Morrow Sodali LLC at:

Required Vote

The approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of at least two-thirds of the then issued and outstanding ordinary shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting, either in person or where proxies are allowed, by proxy, vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Approval of the Trust Amendment Proposal is a condition to the implementation of the Extension Amendment Proposal. The approval of the Trust Amendment Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of at least 65% of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares. Approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal is a condition to the implementation of the Trust Amendment Proposal. The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then issued and outstanding ordinary shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting, either in person or where proxies are allowed, by proxy, vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are not approved and we do not consummate our initial business combination by within 24 months from the closing of our IPO, as contemplated by our IPO prospectus and in accordance with our Articles, we will: (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the Class A ordinary shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Class A ordinary shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. We cannot assure you that the per share distribution from the Trust Account, if we liquidate, will not be less than $10.10 due to unforeseen claims of creditors. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up. In the event of a liquidation, the holders of our Class B ordinary shares, including our Sponsor, will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of their ownership of the Class B ordinary shares.

The approval of both the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are essential to the implementation of our Board’s plan to extend the date by which we must consummate our initial business combination. Therefore, our Board will abandon and not implement either amendment unless our shareholders approve both the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal. This means that if one proposal is approved by the shareholders and the other proposal is not, neither proposal will take effect.

In addition, our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates may purchase Class A ordinary shares in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting. However, they have no current commitments, plans or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions. None of the funds in the Trust Account will be used to purchase Class A ordinary shares in such transactions. Any such purchases that are completed after the record date for the Extraordinary General Meeting may include an agreement with a selling shareholder that such shareholder, for so long as it remains the record holder of the shares in question, will vote in favor of

the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal and/or will not exercise its redemption rights with respect to the shares so purchased. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood that the resolutions to be put to the Extraordinary General Meeting are approved by the requisite number of votes. In the event that such purchases do occur, the purchasers may seek to purchase shares from shareholders who would otherwise have voted against the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal and/or elected to redeem their shares for a portion of the Trust Account. Any such privately negotiated purchases may be effected at purchase prices that are below or in excess of the per-share pro rata portion of the Trust Account. Any Class A ordinary shares held by or subsequently purchased by our affiliates may be voted in favor of the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment Proposal proposals. Our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates will be restricted from making any such purchases when they are in possession of any material non-public information not disclosed to the seller or during a restricted period under Regulation M under the Exchange Act.

Interests of our Sponsor, Directors, Officers and Advisors

When you consider the recommendation of our Board, you should keep in mind that our Sponsor, directors, officers and advisors have interests that may be different from, or in addition to, your interests as a shareholder. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

The Board’s Reasons for the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal and Its Recommendation

As discussed below, after careful consideration of all relevant factors, our Board has determined that the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment Proposal are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. Our Board has approved and declared advisable adoption of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal and recommends that you vote “FOR” such proposals.

Our Articles provide that we have until 24 months from the closing of our IPO to complete our initial business combination under its terms. Our Articles provide that if our shareholders approve an amendment to our Articles that would affect the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem all of our Class A ordinary shares if we do not complete our initial business combination before 24 months from the closing of our IPO, we will provide our Class A ordinary shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their ordinary shares upon such approval at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable) earned on the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, if any, divided by the number of then outstanding Class A ordinary shares. We believe that this provision of the Articles was included to protect our shareholders from having to sustain their investments for an unreasonably long period if we failed to find a suitable business combination in the timeframe contemplated by the Articles.

The Company believes that, given that the Company has already entered into a Merger Agreement and is in the process of completing the business combination, circumstances warrant providing Class A ordinary shareholders an opportunity to consider and vote upon the proposed business combination at an appropriate time. Therefore, we believe that it is in the best interests of our shareholders to extend the date that we have to consummate a business combination to the Extended Date.

After careful consideration of all relevant factors, our Board determined that the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

Resolutions to be Voted Upon

The full text of the resolution to be proposed in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal is set out as the resolution in the amendment to the Articles in the form set forth in Annex A.

The full text of the resolution to be proposed in connection with the Trust Amendment Proposal is as follows:

“RESOLVED, as a special resolution, being the approval of the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of at least 65% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of the Company, that the Company is authorized to enter into the Amendment No. 1 to the Investment Management Trust Agreement by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation, in the form set forth in Annex B to this Proxy Statement.”

Our Board unanimously recommends that our shareholders vote “FOR” the approval of both the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal.

BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF SECURITIES

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of the ordinary shares as of      , 2023, based on information obtained from the persons named below, with respect to the beneficial ownership of ordinary shares, by:

In connection with the vote to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal on April 14, 2023 (the “First Extension”), holders of 18,281,946 Class A ordinary shares exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash.

As of the record date, there were a total of 10,468,054 ordinary shares outstanding, of which 5,750,000 are Class B ordinary shares and 4,718,054 are Class A ordinary shares. Unless otherwise indicated, we believe that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all ordinary shares beneficially owned by them. The following table does not reflect record or beneficial ownership of the Private Placement Warrants as these warrants are not exercisable within 60 days of     , 2023.

HOUSEHOLDING INFORMATION

Unless we have received contrary instructions, we may send a single copy of this Proxy Statement to any household at which two or more shareholders reside if we believe the shareholders are members of the same family. This process, known as “householding,” reduces the volume of duplicate information received at any one household and helps to reduce our expenses. However, if shareholders prefer to receive multiple sets of our disclosure documents at the same address this year or in future years, the shareholders should follow the instructions described below. Similarly, if an address is shared with another shareholder and together both of the shareholders would like to receive only a single set of our disclosure documents, the shareholders should follow these instructions:
